A Week of Color in Paris

Color Science and Engineering Systems, Technologies, and Applications

Join us in Paris, “the city of light”, for a week of color-related courses, workshops, paper pre-sentations, exhibits, and interesting conversations around technical topics and application ar-eas related to color and imaging!

I’ve attended every CIC since CIC13 in 2005. I first came to the conference as a young PhDstudent, monitored nearly every course CIC had to offer, and have learned so much through-out the years. I’m now truly humbled to serve as the general chair of this 27th year, and amvery excited to welcome you to my hometown!

The conference begins with two days of extensive short courses on a wide range of topics, aswell as an intensive one-day introduction to color science course and a workshop organizedby GDR on material appearance. On Tuesday, we offer four participant-generated workshopsdesigned to allow a deeper dive into specific color arenas.

The conference committee has put together a very strong technical program with 31 oral pa-pers, 3 invited talks, and 41 interactive (poster) papers, providing a great opportunity to learn,discuss, and share knowledge. In addition, we are thrilled to host three outstanding keynotespeakers:• Dr. Marina Zannoli, vision scientist in the Display Systems Research group at FacebookReality Labs, focusing on the perception-centered development of AR/VR displays.

• Dr. Beau Watson, chief vision scientist at Apple Inc., revealing the chromatic pyramid of visibility.

• Dr. Panagiotis-Alexandros Bokaris, augmented reality research engineer at L’Oréal, enlightening us with “Let there be light: An AR immersive experience”.

Long coffee breaks and lunches, plus the Welcome and Conference Receptions, provide theperfect time to meet new associates, reconnect with friends, and delve into the many excitingtopics related to color and imaging.

Please help us get the word out about this amazing annual event and prepare yourself for agreat week in Paris. We're looking forward to seeing you and enjoying an excellent confer-ence together!

OPENING KEYNOTEPerception-Centered Development ofNear-Eye Displays, Marina Zannoli,Facebook Reality Labs (US)

To create compelling mixed reality expe-riences, we need to better understandwhat it means to be an active observer ina complex environment. In this talk, Imake the case that building mixed reali-ty technology that seamlessly interfaceswith our sensorimotor system allows forimmersive and comfortable experiences.First, I present a theoretical frameworkthat describes how mixed-reality tech-nologies interface with our sensorimotorsystem. Then, I show how we can useknowledge about the human visual sys-tem to develop novel image quality met-rics for near-eye displays. Finally, I de-scribe how the Display Systems Researchgroup at Facebook Reality Labs developsimage quality metrics, testbeds, and pro-totypes to define requirements for futureAR/VR displays. More specifically, Ipresent a series of head-mounted proto-types, rendering techniques, and bench-top testbeds that explore various paths tosupport focus cues in near-eye displays.

THURSDAY KEYNOTEThe Chromatic Pyramid of Visibility, Andrew “Beau” Watson, Apple Inc. (US)

The Pyramid of Visibility is a simplifiedmodel of the spatio-temporal luminancecontrast sensitivity function (Watson andAhumada 2016). It posits that log sensi-tivity is a linear function of spatial fre-quency, temporal frequency, and log lu-minance. It is valid only away from thespatiotemporal frequency origin.Though very useful in a range of appli-cations, the pyramid would benefit froman extension to the chromatic domain. Inthis talk, I describe our efforts to developthis extension. Among the issues we ad-dress are the choice of color space, thedefinition of color contrast, and how tocombine sensitivities among multiplepyramids.

IMAGING AND ART Scientific Imaging for Cultural Heritage(Invited Focal), Clotilde Boust, Centre derecherche et de restauration des muséesde France (France)

Scientific imaging is an important part ofconservation sciences developed in mu-seum laboratories. This is mainly be-cause it is noninvasive, a decisive ad-vantage to studying unique artworks.Various 2D and 3D optical techniquesusing several radiations (visible, UV, IR,X-rays) lead to a precise state report ofthe artwork, for color, shape, and sur-face on first intention. Depending on theobject’s conservation question, more in-vestigation can be done to detect origi-nal or restauration materials or fabrica-tion techniques. Several examples ofimaging for art conservation are present-ed, with a focus on color collections andmultimodal images.

Show the hardware, software, test charts,images, etc. that you are working on.Open to all, the Demonstration Session allows attendees to view and interact with“products” discussed during presentationsor in the hallways. Demonstrations occurduring the Friday morning coffee break. Interested in participating? Contact DonnaSmith at [email protected].

MONDAY 21 OCTOBER 2019

EIGHT-HOUR CLASSSC01: Color and Imaging8:30 – 17:45 (8 hours)Instructor: Gaurav Sharma, University ofRochesterLevel: Introductory

This course provides a comprehensive intro-duction to the fundamentals of color percep-tion, measurement, and representation. Thecourse begins with the psychophysics of col-or, relating physical descriptions of color,through stages of the human visual system, toperceptual attributes of hue, saturation, andlightness. The anatomy and physiology of thevisual system stages are briefly described.From there, basic colorimetric and perceptu-al color representations are developed, witha particular focus on CIE standards such asthe CIEXYZ tristimulus space and the CIELABand CIELUV perceptually uniform colorspaces. Chromaticity representations are dis-cussed as convenient 2D visualization tools.

Benefits: Attendees will be able to:• Describe the basic findings from colormatching experiments and the concept oftrichromacy.

• Transform between commonly used colorspace representations.

• Describe how these color representationsrelate to the stages of the human visualsystem.

• Discuss chromatic adaptation and its critical role in color perception.

NEW SC15: Color Imaging Challenges with Compact Camera Optics13:30 – 15:30 (2 hours)Instructor: Kevin J. Matherson, Microsoft CorporationLevel: Introductory

This short course describes the color imagingchallenges created by the unique character-istics of compact camera modules, includingAR/VR, automotive, machine vision, andconsumer applications. First introduced arethe fundamentals of camera optics in smallformats for which the availability of suitablematerials impacts color quality. Steep chiefray angles result in spatially varying spectral-ly sensitivity and interact with the goniometricproperties of IR-cut filters, dielectric materials,sensor microlenses, color filter arraycrosstalk, and color shading. Also coveredare spherical aberration, spherochromatism,extended-depth-of-field imaging, sharpnesstransport algorithms, and the design of lens-es in which axial color is used to ensure allcolor planes are in focus. This short coursegives the attendee an understanding of thephysics and interaction of light, optics, andcolor as well as the algorithmic foundationsfor image signal processors in which the optics and ISP are jointly designed with thegoal of improving the overall system imagequality.

Benefits: Attendees will be able to:• Understand the fundamental challengesposed by compact camera optics on color image processing.

• Specify the color corrections required tocompensate for compact camera opticslimitations.

• Evaluate ISP-based solutions to correctchromatic aberrations and color shadingin compact camera systems.

W3: The Art and Science of High-End Digital ColorPrint-Making15:45 – 18:15Chairs/Conveners: Peter Morovic, HP Inc. (Spain)and Ján Morovic, HP Inc. (UK)

Creating subtle yet impactful fine-art prints–be it reproductions of other forms of art ororiginals produced directly as digital printssuch as graphic design, digital art, or pho-

tography–used to be the exclusive domain ofartisanal processes mastered by highly-skilledprint-makers with many years of experience,often working alongside the artists them-selves. Over the past few decades, many ap-plications previously reserved for these tradi-tional, analogue processes have given wayto digital technologies. For example, fine artphotographers – whether they capture inanalogue or digital – have been exploringthe possibilities of digital print and its newpotential. Printing technologies have evolved to mul-

ti-primary printing, higher printing resolu-tions, smaller and more precise drops, andink and substrate development resulting inlarge color gamuts, as well as unprecedentedlight-fastness on the order of hundreds ofyears. Likewise, printing pipelines and work-flows have undergone drastic innovations inthe areas of color management, color sepa-ration and halftoning, and an ability to han-dle the multitude of complex transformationsrequired to go from the digital input to the fi-nal, physical print. Even staunch analogueadvocates experiment with digital, whetherby considering a full transition or combininganalogue and digital processes, such as dig-ital negatives.This workshop brings together state-of-the-art

in all the aspects that work in concert to deliverhigh-end, fine art prints, while at the same timehighlights areas where there are still opportuni-ties for improvement or new applications thatare impossible today. While in some areas, sci-ence and technology have closed the gap withanalogue print making processes, the opportu-nities with digital printing are still to be discov-ered. This workshop combines talks on relevanttopics with demos and print samples, to be re-viewed by attendees and discussed together.
